From the costume people wearing, this must be the parade of wedding. At the back depicted is Edo Castle, the residence of Shogun. The painter of this artwork is Hiroshige II who took over Hiroshige I. From the Rakkan seal of Shigenobu, this was created before taking over Hiroshige.
Triptych Slightly soiled, folded at the center, wears in the corners
Hiroshige II was a young print artist named Shigenobu, who married Hiroshige's daughter (either adopted or from his second marriage), Tatsu. Hiroshige intended to make Shigenobu his heir in all matters, but Tatsu and Shigenobu separated. Shigenobu nevertheless began using the name Hiroshige and so is known as Hiroshige II. Tatsu remarried another artist, named Shigemasa, who became Hiroshige's heir, as a fireman and in using his name; he is known as Hiroshige III. Neither Hiroshige II nor Hiroshige III achieved the level of success and recognition achieved by, and accorded Hiroshige.
